What do you usually do on the weekend? If your answer is a game of soccer, golf, tennis, or maybe more exotic sports, such as cricket or lacrosse, then you need a comfortable lawn in front of the house. And an ordinary flat grassy area will not work, you need a special lawn. The sports option should be resistant to stress and safe for players.
Special grass mixtures of special sports lawns provide a quick restoration of the green cover, however, trampling it is not so fast. These wonderful properties are the result of using fast-growing cereal plants with elastic, wide shoots. Plus, the grass is mixed with a dense turf. The lawn is smooth, beautiful, it does not slip.
Traditionally, the mixture contains ordinary meadow bluegrass, red fescue, ryegrass seeds. More complex, consisting of four, five, or even eight components, the lawn charges include different types of plants with the name of the field grass (ordinary, white, creeping). Under all these names are hiding the familiar herbs that grow in the wild in many regions of Russia. They guarantee the high qualities that your sports lawn will possess.
Before sowing the lawn, serious preparatory work is necessary. The rules for constructing sports grounds are the same for large structures and small private pavements. If you do not want to treat injuries, then take care not only of a good leveling of the future playing field, but also of its drainage system. A sports lawn should not turn into a swamp in wet weather. Puddles and dirt increase gliding, and you and your friends run the risk of getting bruises and sprains.
To drain water efficiently, a sophisticated drainage system is laid. A “pillow” is placed above the system - a layer of gravel, crushed stone and sand. The soil, in its usual state, has poor permeability, so it is improved by creating a special layer consisting of turf land, sand and peat. And only then the herbal mixture is sown.
The lawn will require you to pay close attention to yourself. It needs to be watered regularly, it will be just great if you install an automatic water spray system. The height of the grass must be constantly looked after, mowing it as necessary. Appearing "bald spots" are sown again.
Already in doubt that you can do all of the above yourself? Then try to avoid the hassle of at least growing the grass floor by ordering a ready-made lawn from a specialized company. Green rolls are the fruit of a long and painstaking work of nursery specialists, in which a dense uniform cover of grass is cultivated on specially prepared soil. Professionals will take measurements of your site, prepare it, deliver finished lawn rolls and lay them. Sometimes after-sales service includes repair work on replacing damaged areas.
Equipping a sports lawn in your home, you get the opportunity to chase the ball, play tennis, volleyball on a quality and safe surface.
